While eating lunch, I’m reading writings categorized as Philosophy and Religion. These two things are of interest to me.

So, naturally after reading I become engaged in opinion. Isn’t that really what philosophy is- exaggerated expression, explained to a convincing, finalizing point later to be argued, challenged, condensed, consumed, contemplated and/or exposed.

The challenge is the make the realization so solid that it cannot be torn down. The idea must not contain any loopholes of doubt and no soft spots for questioning. That’s when an idea becomes fact. Is it not?

Suppose an exaggerated expression was never stated or stated but never challenged, it is a fact to he who thinks it.

Imagine what would not exist to us had we not been told.
Imagine the only problems and solutions around were the ones we unfold.
Imagine the power to be at ease
And facing others with honest peace.
Imagine no one telling us anything.

Makeup, make believe?
Play pretend and judge who pretends the best!
The best pretender is the fanciest
and we’re to think their better than us.

They are. They are better at make believe, better at it than you and me. Their hiding and shading is a cover up
of what they fear we will see;
the truth or their weight in ugliness, or sadness or a past that wasn’t good enough.

Put on airs! By the labels, by the brands, for society tells you it’s the best, newest and greatest to fool
the rest of us.

The truth is that we can weigh your self worth by how much you put into your cover up.
Debt in clothes and smells and tans and pedicures and even the detailed highlights you put on your face and the hours you commit for the perfect hair shows how ugly and how ashamed of yourself you are and how you sadly snub those who are okay with themselves and are themselves and those who don’t make other folks richer because they don’t follow the latest trend on how to con society to believe they are ashamed of themselves.

The fanciest, trendiest person must indeed be the saddest, most self tormented slave I believe I ever met.
